I am highly qualified, I am paid less I am outspoken, I am stiffened You assume I am unable to negotiate I am raped, mutilated, and breast ironed Unappreciated, underestimated, untapped. How could one biological organ Start a war of depression and deceit How could A VAGINA! Yes, the VAGINA! Set boundaries Set limits Why should I be sort different? It was no choice of mine. Am I not capable of skills? Of great dexterity, to build and break Am I not leader enough? To shape and mold my world Are not my skills far beyond the kitchen The bedroom, the house at large? Never underestimate the power of my pen The power of my voice The worth of my thoughts It brings freedom to souls and awakens the cold hearts of men. A vagina is an organ given at birth But woman is what I am So Educate me and I will lead I will feed a village I will change lives Because I found Pulse The heart beat that will pump my voice through out The world, not only for me but for her.
